Today we’re simply wondering whether (assuming you live in Ireland) you’re satisfied with your quality of life.

Naoise Nunn

Seamus Breslin
Column: Parents bringing their children to be kneecapped. Yes, this is Ireland.
By Seamus Breslin

Self-styled republican vigilantes are terrorising a city, writes Seamus Breslin – and perceived neglect by authorities is fuelling the fire.
